There is a lot to talk about... My stance is that homosexuality is a sin, but one that is of the flesh and covered by grace. First thing you must realize is that the OT gives a lot of laws which none of us keep. Most folks realize that. If you don't, I will give you a quick lesson: shrimp...

So what's going on here? Are we arguing over whether we are bricks? Really? Well, I don't have a scripture that says we are bricks. But I do have Eph 2 which states we are built on the foundation of the Apostles and prophets with Jesus being the chief cornerstone. It also likens us to a...

I do no such thing. I have given verses that show that God wants his believers on Earth to assemble under leadership. Organized religious Churches may like those verses and may use them. But just because they do use those verses doesn't make those verses wrong. There may be a million...

That's not true. Jesus was in charge! When they assembled they were having Church. he left 12 in charge when he left. I see you have no interest in addressing the verses I gave you which clearly show that there is a God ordained structure so I will let it rest.

I am fully ready to discuss those verses. Yet you didn't take me up on my challenge. Yes, the LAW and the PROPHETS ceased when John was done. Grace and truth came by Jesus. And Jesus sent men out to carry on. He sent men to preach about him. Men pressed into the kingdom beyond Jesus's...

I am discussing/debating with some folks I agree with on many things. I like these folks. I want to back up and state my position on this before it gets lost. In this day there are countless Churches and denominations. They each have their own slant on the Bible. I am against denominations...

Yes, we are the Church. But believers assemble and when they do, it's also having Church. I gave two scriptures to mjrhealth, and I will give two to you: Hebrews 10:25 KJV Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much...

Yes, I agree. We are to follow Christ and his spirit. I agree that the doctines of men should be avoided. I don't agree that they are being destroyed. Challenged yes, destroyed, no. I read the end.... God wins! But the question is what is God's way? How do we follow Jesus and how are we...

There is a lot here that I agree with and disagree with. Yes, God's way will work. Jesus did send them out by twos, but that was a specific mission. He sent 70 out total. Paul often went with a companion like Barnabus... When Peter preached in the first 5 or so chapters he had others with...

So are those verses sufficient to make the ones I gave null and void? Scripture does not counter or Trump other scripture as if it were a card game. Scripture coincides with other scripture. I love all those verses and will joyfully discuss them with you. But people on this board and in...

I understand what you are saying and I sympathize with those who are fed up with the Churches they have attended and clearly do it wrong. I wrote to Nancy alittle about that. But if you are going to simply read the Bible in your walk with God, how much of it are you going to believe and...

Absolutely. It's just a theory I have, but it's tough to keep a big congregation and preach ALL the truth. If a pastor sets out to do so, he's going to have to preach about hell. He's going to have preach about the dangers of splits and cliques. Then he's going to have to rebuke someone...

Again I ask: all Churches? It's not that I disagree with you; I agree with your overall point. I see a whole lot missing in false Churches. But it doesn't do anyone any good without defining more specifically what is missing. Then we ask again if all Churches lack this. We still have the...

All Churches?

Yes they did. Whose fault was it? Was it the fault of Paul? God's fault through Paul? Its a rhetorical question which is to point out that while the Jesus's teaching through Paul was sound, the Churches in Asia was stoney ground. The plan (Apostles, prophets, pastors, evenlists and...

Man.... I can't dance, sing or keep a beat! Even clapping my hands is difficult! My own Pastor makes fun of me! That is fine, because we are buds... And he isn't looking at the performance but the effort. He's loojing for joy being in our hearts. I have another God given talent, but...

1. The message ou the Word going forth is the most importantthing. 2. The song service is important. Most don't take it seriously, but they don't see it as worship and praise. Fod led his men to write several verses in Psalms about the importance of praise through music. My advice is to...

Lights and flash aren't the problem. Distraction is... Bottom line is you should be able to praise thw Lord accopela or with a band. My church lost power one Sunday... Didn't impede us at all... It was actually more fun.

Its my own personal code and assurance the prayer gets through while acknowdging the prayer request.

I disagree with that. Missuonaries are sent, and so are apostles. But the reasoning is different. I agree. The role of the original 12.
